Leek is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Staffordshire. Set on the River Churnet, it is 10 miles north east of Stoke-on-Trent. It is an ancient borough and was given a royal charter in 1214. The bulk of the town is at or higher than 180 metres above sea level, and it is encompassed by the countryside of the Staffordshire Moorlands, which is situated on the southern uplands of the Pennines. It is the administrative base for the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. The town was built on the slope and crown of a hill, and it is at the foot of the Peak District National Park. The town is, for that reason, known as the 'Gateway to the Peak District', in addition to being generally called the 'Queen of the Moorlands'. It has a long history of being a market town, with the right to host a weekly market and an annual week-long fair being awarded by King John in 1207. Lots of buildings dating from the Victorian period are left standing in the town, and numerous of these were designed by the architectural practice of the Sugdens, 'Sugden and Sons'.

Notable buildings include the Congregational Church, Myatt; s Mill, Mill Street Methodist Chapel and Ragged School, and West Street School.
